Re: [Blind-Computing] Is MS SharePoint accessible? (UNCLASSIFIED)
SharePoint 2010 has more accessibility features available in it if developers elect to use them. SharePoint 2007 has some major accessibility problems with few fixes. However, if pages are created in a simple layout you can manage to get your work done.

(UNCLASSIFIED) Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Stephanie: I deal with SharePoint regularly, and I'd say that it's not completely inaccessible, but using it can be a real challenge. It depends on the views that are used and what the content you're trying to access is. For instance, I have to access spreadsheets stored in SharePoint, which is basically impossible in the view we use. So, I've found it much better to go to the actions menu and export the spreadsheet to an Excel file on my computer. There are work-around, and if you have a good sighted assistant who understands SharePoint and the ways it can present data, you'll probably be OK. If you don't have that, be prepared to be frustrated as you learn to use the SharePoint. Good luck, with this. -Original Message- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Stephanie Koetje Sent: Friday, March 01, 2013 12:34 PM To: 'blind-computing@jaws-users.com' Subject: [Blind-Computing] Is MS SharePoint accessible?
